The Game

In the context of human trafficking, the term “the game” may refer to the lifestyle and experiences of individuals who are being exploited for the purpose of sexual or labor exploitation. This may include the conditions in which they are being held, the abuse and trauma they are subjected to, and the psychological manipulation and control they are subjected to by their traffickers.

The life of a victim of human trafficking can be characterized by a lack of autonomy, dignity, and freedom, and it can involve physical and emotional abuse, as well as economic exploitation. It is important to recognize the signs of human trafficking and to report any suspected cases to the authorities. If you or someone you know is being exploited, it is important to seek help and support from a trusted source, such as a crisis hotline or a law enforcement agency.
